Default need tire+ suspension advice (DC4) thanx

just bought a set of fuzion zri 195/50/15 tires to mount on some stock ls meshies that i picked up for cheap. i have a 30 day test drive on the tires, im thinking about switchin over to kumho ecsta 712 in a 205/50/15 size cuz i dont really like the fuzions. this will cost me about $100. is this a waste of money? what do u guys think?

also my car (dc4) seems really bouncy after switchin over from 18 in to 15 in rims. is this a sign of blown stock shocks or is this a result of the eibach springs having had a coil cut out of them by the previous car's owner? ( dont ask me why). how can i get rid of this annoying bounciness at around 30 mph, get new shocks or springs or both? my only suspension moda are lowering springs+ camber kit+ strut bar btw.

thanx honda-tech sry for such a long confusing post.
jus a noob in need of advice for my teg

The Fuzion ZRi is a much better tire than the Kumho Ecsta Supra 712. It's not the best "budget performance tire" - the Yokohama ES100 and the Kumho Ecsta SPT are similarly priced and are both much better - but the 712 is a really crappy tire.

As for tire size, the proper 15" size for your Integra is 195/55-15. All of these tires are available in that size.

If your car seems bouncy, it could be a lot of things - shocks, wrong tire pressures, etc. But if it was fine with your old wheels/tires and it's not fine now, then the problem isn't in the suspension.
